What would you do? choose your path:
(Comment based on one and She'll respond XP):
Alex: hey, how's it goin'? :3 *holds out her muddy hand*
A: *Smile and shake hands enthusiastically*
B: *Smile and shake hands, but wipe it off afterwards*
C: *don't lift a hand*
D: Say: I'd shake hands but... *nods at her hand*
E: Say: Yah... i'm not going to shake your dirty hand though
F: Say: Eww! Wash your hand and take a bath you dirty, flee infested Hey Seed! *scoff in disgust*

Tops: t-shirts (mainly), sweatshirts, hoodies, sleeveless t-shirts, tank tops, nothing (sometimes, with overalls, usually with coveralls) doesn’t wear a bra (and has small breasts, so she doesn’t need ‘em, she tries to act like she doesn’t care, and SHE doesn’t but she’s worried others will)

Personal hero: Temple Grandon and Amelia Earhart
Favorite characters: Scout finch from to kill a mocking bird, Leslie from Bridge to terrabithia. Fern from Charlotte's web
Random other traits:
Alex lives on a small farm, with chickens, cows, goats, and her horse, and also her cat and dog, and plenty of crops, she loves being a farm girl and doesn’t mind getting dirty (and is the one who does most of the work).
Does good at classes she likes (esp: science and PE), and bad at classes she doesn’t like, or finds boring (depends on teacher, and what is taught)
Alex is also part of 4H club
Sparing and a bit frugal, but generous. (gives gifts, but doesn’t buy expensive clothes and the like) (gets most clothes second hand or hand me downs, used bike, used skate&snow board) (Her Family has gone through financial hardships as well)
Has a high metabolism, is very active, eats a lot but stays skinny
Rarely eats red meat (usually only thanksgiving and Christmas), and when she does she makes sure it was humane (from her own farm, usually, she lets animals live long and only kills and eats them when they are close to dying). And any other meat she eats she tries to do it humanely and quickly. (But she is obsessed with killing mosquitoes, who she has sworn to be her mortal enemy ) She’ll get really mad at you if you kill something for fun, like kick your ass, beat you up angry…
Family:
Her father is a biology teacher at a university, and doesn’t get to be a father often during the school year, in the free time he has during the summer, he tries to make it up to her by playing with her and teaching her things about nature. Because of her fathers work, Alex is often home alone, and has main responsibility for the farm.
Her mother died when she was a little girl (toddler) for reasons her father won’t discuss.
Her father also has a hard time being with alex because she reminds him of her mom
Alex has an aunt in law that she despises, primarily because she wants her to be girlier and more lady like.
She’s given her girly dresses, which she’s ripped up, died and used for patches on her pants, or other wise made sure she rips up and dirties them.
She tries to teach Alex lady manners… which hasn’t worked very well either.
She’s tried to get her to… well, the rest you’ll see on a funny little side comic strip called Alex’s girlifieing adventures ^^ (along with maddy, a girly friend from school, and minor character)
Alex had an older brother, named Conner. He was 12 years older than her, he was very loving to her, and used to play with her a lot. “I’m lucky to have you as a little sister, because its like having a little sister and a little brother at the same time” she would always laugh at that. He was very outdoorsy and sporty like Alex is. Many of Alex’s clothes are hand me downs from her older brother. When Alex was 7 he went off to war, he disappeared and was never found, presumed dead. Alex secluded herself for a month, but finally got somewhat over it, because she knew he would have wanted her to stay in school and live on happily with out him. But, when she’s older, she thinks about finding out what happened to her brother, she would join the army but… she hates guns and violence… so that doesn’t work
Despite this Alex usually is a happy kid
Alex’s other relatives include her aunt and uncle, and her 4 cousins (2 girls 2 boys) in Tennessee, they live on a farm as well.
Her oldest cousin in a 16 year old punk tomboy, who alex likes, and looks up to, except that she can be very aggressive, violent, and stubborn at times.
The two boys are twin boys (not identical), they together are mischievous trouble makers, and alex is sometimes amused by them, sometimes annoyed, and sometimes she joins them in their pranks ^^
The youngest girl in a 6 year old who thinks she’s a princess, alex is highly annoyed with her girlyness, spoiled ness (does not work on the farm if she can avoid it), and tries to get her to be more like a tomboy.

Keki: haha don't look so worried! I've done this plenty of times and only one guy lost his head -breaks into laughter when she sees Alex squirm- No I'm kidding I won't hurt you probably... -takes a step away from Alex and grins- Ready? I hope so~! -jumps high into the air and flips backwards toward the lake. in mid air when she's right in front of the sun she starts to change. her feet become longer and webbed. Her fingers grow and become webbed too. Her ears point and gills sprout from her neck. her bones start changing too. her bones become thinner and longer which looks painful. She winces slightly but doesn't show to much pain. She flips a couple times and dives into the water without to much splash. nothing happens for a minute and then she launches herself off the lake floor and rockets into the air, spinning, bringing a beautiful array of water spraying after her as if trying to grab her and bring her back.- WOOOO!! -you can see her skin has also changed. it's become more slick and scale like and the tint has gone from peach to pale blue/green. she lands back into the water with the same small splash. she surfaces with a huge grin on her face- TA DA~! haha I wasn't completely changed back then though. I can swim much faster now -floats onto her back and flicks her webbed her into the air sending water toward Alex- So how was it? I messed up once and didn't get one flip in there but I think I did it right -grins- haha once I forgot to transform my lungs and tried to breathe underwater haha that was a mistake but I got everything this time
So what'd you think?

Keki: -laughs- no you don't need to bow I'm not a god I'm just well.. I'm 1/3 mermaid 1/3 siren and 1/3 human it gets really complicated so it's ok I'm not going to bite your head off well I could see -unhooks her jaw like a snake to show her razor sharp teeth. giggles and hooks her jaw back- but I won't -looks up to see Alex's scared expression- Oh I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that. Here -she climbed out of the water and started walking back toward Alex. as she walked she started to change back to her human form. when she got back in front of her she looked normal again. She shook like a dog- the only disadvantage about doing that is that my skin and hair may be dry but my clothes sure aren't... I'm sorry if I scared you but I promise I won't go full siren see -she shook her wrist in front of Alex and a strange looking bracelet jingled- it was crafted for me when my mother went full siren and went rouge. the elders thought I was to wild so they made me this, locked it onto me, and banished me. -shrug- but it's ok it was a long long loooong time ago -grins-
